About Magdalena Morey

I am a mixed media abstract expressionist artist. My art looks at what it means to travel and how it reveals and creates layers of ourselves as the journey continues. The sense of anticipation, excitement and promise that fuels the drive to explore has a contrasting side and as we explore the facets of our experience we are both cracked and polished by the cultures with which we interact. Threads of separation and loneliness are woven into the fabric of daily life but connections to friends and family are kept alive by technologies not available to the generations before us. Our travels weather and shape us; they change us irrevocably as we search for answers and challenge us to discover who we really are. Over time it all becomes a part of us, our perspectives evolving and we become more than we were. I normally work in layers of acrylics, watercolours and pastels. Gold leaf also features in much of my art and is a simultaneous reference to both luminosity and internal awakening.
